Reference Summary

The table below shows the data sources in the proposal. The data sets will all be referred from these data sources. These references contain original data, pre-processed data, and literature resources.

No. Resource Description
1 AFDC (2023) The team has been looking for the number of renewable energy policies. The alternative fuels can be treated as a sub-group. The AFDC (Alternative Fuels Data Center) is a sophisticated data center of “Alternative Fuels” for vehicles, also provided by the EERE. It contains Biodiesel, Electricity, Ethanol, Hydrogen, Natural Gas, Propane, and Renewable Diesel. This website collects the number of alternative fuel policies for each state, out of which the tendency can be illustrated by a proper plot.
2 Clean Cities Coalition (2023) The Clean Cities Coalition is a funding program initiated by US Dept of Energy for more than 2 decades. This coalition is a collection of government funding that encourages renewable energy development. The annual total of project awards are summarized and can be illustrated to show tendency.
3 EERE Library (2023) The EERE Library is published by EERE (Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy). It is an online library containing energy-related publications by US Dept of Energy. For example, the report of Clean cities Coalitions is a well-structured publication of clean energy adoption in different regions of the USA.
4 EIA (2023) This data browser is generated by eia (US Energy Information Administration). In this browser, the data can be selected as net generation, consumption, or retail; and the reported data components can be selected based on our purposes. The 1.1a Net generation by renewable sources: total - all sectors report is a good starting point. It contains data of different renewable energy sources from 2000 to 2023.
5 EIA Open Data (2023) The eia Open Data is the API version of the eia data browser, which is also the most original data for all forms of eia data reports. It is a handy tool to generate energy data based on our preferences. In most cases, the eia Electricity Data Browser will be sufficient, but the team might make use of this API for an unusual facet of data selection.
